The song We Are Hams was composed, written and performed by Volodymyr
Ivanov, UT1IJ, who is a long-time participant of IARU HST competitions
at 9th IARU HST World Championship.
Those who visited a HST will certainly remember his singing
performances, which have become a fixed part of the final ceremonies of
each event for the last ten years.
